Well the Forum has a date with the wreckers, soon it will wiped off the face of the earth.I wanted to buy the admission price sign, but it was gone. It was my landmark on the Septa train, I will miss it, even though it was 30 years since I had been in there.

I would like to see this still used as a theater, cleaned up of course. Could be the new Temple Cinemateque. I haven’t been in that theater in thirty years. Was then a couples theater, a clean safe place. With the Book Bin and John’s Adult Books closing this year as well, The Scorpio and Danny’s will make bank, because everyone doesn’t have internet access.

I am doing a large-scale research project on adult theatres and would be very interested to hear from anything who either worked at or attended this theatre during its time showing adult films. If you would like to help me out, you can email me at .

Yeah, like time stood still. I’m from New York, we had tons in the City and a few on Long Island, but the overall feel is the same. I swear that when I came out of that subway I was dreaming, we have no more of those theaters around here so it really was an eye opener…

I recently visited Philly and I was stunned to come up out of the subway stop and the first thing that greeted me was this adult theater. I swore I was having a flashback, but no, this theater stands, and continues to stand on this spot. Here’s some photos I snapped from this past September 2009:View linkView linkView linkView linkView link
